Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty: State of the Art
Interventional Cardiology: Reviews, Research, Resources, 2021 Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a novel technique for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. While cardiologists need no introduction to the concept of balloon angioplasty, BPA has its own particular challenges.

Non-invasive assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary hypertension: Current knowledge and future direction [PDF]
, 2017 Pulmonary Hypertension (PHT) is relatively common, dangerous and under-recognised. Pulmonary hypertension is not a diagnosis in itself; it is caused by a number of differing diseases each with different treatments and prognoses.

Endothelin-1 Predicts Hemodynamically Assessed Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in HIV Infection. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundHIV infection is an independent risk factor for PAH, but the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. ET-1 is a robust vasoconstrictor and key mediator of pulmonary vascular homeostasis.

Chronic Thromboembolic Disease and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2021 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary vascular disease (CTED) are rare manifestations of venous thromboembolism. Presumably, CTEPH and CTED are variants of the same pathophysiological mechanism. CTEPH and CTED can be near-cured by pulmonary endarterectomy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and medical ...

Familial Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]
Chest, 2016 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an uncommon disease that is the most serious complication associated with unresolved pulmonary embolism. This disease has several risk factors, but no familial pattern has been described. Few thrombophilic conditions have been reported to increase risk of CTEPH, and none of the hereditary ...

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, stenoses or obstructions of the pulmonary arteries due to organized thrombi can cause an elevation in pulmonary artery resistance, which in turn can result in pulmonary hypertension.
